Very wonderful and loveable carving. Grandfather came from Odessa, Russia/Germany depending which warwas just over, and had a still down the basement in Medicine Hat, Canada and eastern Montana. He usuallywore shoes, but otherwise I think I recognize him.

Very cool. Did you use used Roger for model, but with a different hat on then??Nice job on that carving!! I like it when you shoe the steps toward the final figure. That is a real art to get that detail!! ..............Jim

yes, I think that is Roger – especially the sly little grin. Another character full of personality.

Lidiya – I think I would much rather have one of your charming creations as my day-to-day companion than most of the men I have met in real life. They do not need as much cleaning up after for one thing :) – and for another, they never disagree with me!
